Cannot think of a name

Some of you know Uwe Boll as the guy who makes forgetable to outright horrible movie adaptations of video games like Bloodrayne and House of the Dead.
Just godawful.
I've always had that notion in the back of my head that he knew he was making shitty fucking movies and just didn't care. Thanks to an old Oberhausen loophole he was able to make money without making money off these stinkers so it didn't matter. But nope, he's not that aware...
"I'm fed up with people slamming my films on the Internet without see[ing] them. Many journalists make value judgments on my films based on the opinions of one or two thousand Internet voices. Half of those opinions come from people who've never watched my films."
So he's going to take it to five of those critics, on the chin. (http://www.kotaku.com/gaming/uwe-boll/uwe-boll-wants-to-kick-your-ass-no-really-180214.php)
Towards the end of the filming of Postal, the five most outspoken critics will be flown into Vancouver and supplied with hotel rooms. As a guest of Uwe Boll they will be given the chance to be an extra/stand-in in Postal and have the opportunity to put on boxing gloves and enter a BOXING RING to fight Uwe Boll. Each critic will have the opportunity to bring down Uwe in a 10-bout match. There will be five matches planned over the last two days of the movie. Certain scenes from these boxing matches will become part of the Postal movie. All five fights will be televised on the Internet and will be covered by international press.
That's right. He's going to box five of his harshest critics. Crazy is as all that.
I don't qualify for a number of reasons, the most of which I haven't written about him on the internet or newspapers that extensively, or really at all. On a certain level I can understand that kind of frustration, but then I think I just might endevor to make better films...
Would you go toe to toe with Boll?
I'm too lazy at the moment to link better articles (that one's kind of irratating) but here is a google search (http://www.google.com/search?q=uwe+boll+fight&start=0&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official) as if you guys couldn't do that on your own...anyway...
